InnoDB is a database engine for MySQL databases, which is used by widely used PHP-based web apps like Magento and Joomla v3. It is excellent for scalable apps, since it works exceptionally well when processing enormous volumes of data. Rather than locking the entire database table to append new information to a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one row, so it can execute a lot more operations for the same period of time. Moreover, InnoDB offers a much faster database failure recovery and supports transactions and foreign key constraints – a set of rules that indicate how data imports and modifications should be treated. If a certain operation hasn’t been thoroughly completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the information in the database will be retained undamaged and won’t be partially merged with newly inserted content.

InnoDB in Cloud Website Hosting

While InnoDB is either not offered or it is a paid upgrade with many hosting companies, it’s included in the default set of features offered with our cloud website hosting packages. If you want to use a PHP-powered software app that requires InnoDB in particular, in order to be activated and to work properly, you won’t encounter any impediments as the InnoDB database engine is available on our custom cloud website hosting platform. No matter if you set up a brand-new database and activate an application manually or make use of our single-click application installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our platform as the default engine if the particular application needs InnoDB instead of MyISAM. Besides the exceptional database failure recovery offered by InnoDB, we also perform daily backups of all databases, so we can easily restore any MySQL database in your shared hosting account.

InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Hosting

InnoDB is available with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages by default, so the moment you get a new account, you can go ahead and activate any PHP-driven software app that needs this database engine. A few engines are pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so when you create a brand new MySQL database and start installing an app manually, or decide to take advantage of the Hepsia Control Panel-integrated application installer, the engine for the database will be chosen based on the prerequisites of the specific app. This will permit you to install and manage InnoDB-specific applications without any impediments and without needing to configure any settings in your account. To take no chances, we’ll always have a seven-day-old backup of all your databases, so if you delete or change any content unintentionally, we can quickly recover it.

InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting

If you choose a virtual private server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, the InnoDB database storage engine will be included in the standard software bundle that will be pre-installed on your VPS server before we give it to you. You won’t have to set up anything manually and you’ll be able to enable and use any open-source script-powered software app that needs InnoDB once your Virtual Private Server is ready, which takes no more than one hour after the order submission process itself. A number of engines are available, so every time you create a MySQL database through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be selected once the app installation process begins and our system will recognize the engine that is required by the app in question. In case you need MyISAM, for instance, you will not need to do anything different than installing the chosen app, whether manually or using our application installer.

InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Our Hepsia hosting Control Panel is among the options which you can select on the server order page when you purchase a dedicated server from our company. As this is the most powerful kind of website hosting, it is pretty likely that you’ll run very popular Internet sites that will draw a lot of visitors, and since InnoDB is one of the very best options for such sites, we will activate it along with all the other software apps that come with a Hepsia-equipped server. When you create a brand new MySQL database in your dedicated account, there won’t be any active MySQL database engine till you start installing an open-source script, whether manually via your web browser or using the automatic scripts installer that is available in the hosting Control Panel. The required engine will be recognized automatically and will be set for that database, so you can use scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that need MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without needing to deal with any complication.
